Hope this saves some googlers a headache (and Yes, I'm using Windows 8.1 with the iso-disc version, and it worked before I installed the FF XV mods). (At least in two weeks' gameplay I haven't found it to impede anything).

So as sad as I am to report that I have had ZERO success in disabling the analog functions through drivers and calibration, it's actually 100% playable with the Xbox One controller if you can understand these two points.

Once those menus disappear, the Left Trigger will no longer interfere with your gameplay. This function will be negated by simply pressing the Left Trigger half way and releasing it. In the STANDARD configuration, once you've selected a play, you'll notice that the sidebars (options & audibles etc) are forced onto the screen for each controller player after you're on the field. When you're scrolling through play menus, simply hold the Left Trigger. You should see options for Keyboard, Keyboard + Mouse, and 'Xbox 360 Controller'. Boot the controllers before Madden 08's mainapp.exe, then on the bottom right of the dashboard go to File>Profile>Controllers. You will do this for the new folders in this directory which spawn with new controller connects as well.Ģ. *** Note2: You're not RENAMING 'OEMName', you're right clicking> Modify value, and pasting 'XBOX 360 Controller for Windows' without the parenthesis, and then saving. *** NOTE: There's at least three variations of that phrase in parenthesis which work for most games. It probably looked something like 'Controller (XBOX One For Windows)' before. Modify OEMName's value to 'XBOX 360 Controller for Windows'. This is the generic Microsoft registry name for the XBOX One controllers. Should you modify the wrong file here, or accidentally delete something, you could do serious damage to the infrastructure of your operating system. You're going to go to run> 'regedit', or otherwise open your windows 7/vista/8/8.1/10 registry. So here's the short version, and I'm not going to get into the long, extensive, list of failed attempts at resolving this which I've performed.ġ. Everyone here knows and understands that the XBOX 360 controllers and XBOX One controllers are fairly identical right? 'Right.' So what we're going to be doing is fooling a pre-xbox one game module into recognizing a device which was non-existent when it was released. THE XBOX ONE CONTROLLER CAN BE USED WITH MADDEN 08 PC. *** NOTE: The method below will work for wired connections (USB) to the Xbox One controllers as well as WIRELESS connections via the licensed M$ adapter. It definitely warrants a dedicated discussion. Let me start off by saying that there is little-to-no information about this topic on the web with the exception of one or two comments in various threads on this forum.
